I absolutely cannot stand the guy, and can't listen to his voice or look at his orange mug without feeling queasy. Worse, the content of his "communications" is soul killingly stupid and self-serving. So I ignore him to the best of my ability, and until recently I wanted journalists to ignore him too.
But the only thing they are ignoring is his most toxic threats and messages on Lies Social and his rambling, unhinged, and in my opinion, insane speeches filled with evidence of his declining mental state.
They are over covering his "good" poll numbers and lead in the primaries and sanitizing his stupid comments. They are ignoring his threats of violence.
It's the worst of all methods for covering this idiot. Ignoring the bad and magnifying whatever acceptable facts they can find.
It's gotten to the point that when he threatened Milley's life, they both sidered that.
SO...if they insist on covering him (and boy, do they ever), they need to start by covering his insane Lies Social posts and threats at least as much as they cover his poll numbers.
